Sports organisations play an important role in creating a positive club ethos that challenges bullying.
What is bullying?
The Anti-Bullying Alliance's definition of bullying is:
"The repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power.
The first step to supporting disabled children and young people in your club or activity, is to create and promote an inclusive environment and culture for all children, parents, carers, staff and volunteers.
